Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slade

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slade as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Slade, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Slade. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Slade, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Common questions in Slade

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work in Slade?

We do. We send a technician to Slade for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally within a day, depending on the repair.

Are there extra charges for Slade?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
